Even if it somehow had the wrong encoding, isn't it strange that some of the output is correct and some is not?

Anyway, the terminal is utf8 and I was surprised to see that binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)' actually made it worse: 
foo
foo with an –
some latin1 encoded chars: æøå ÆØÅ
same, but this time whith an – .. æøå ÆØÅ
same, but this thime with an ” instead .. : æøå ÆØÃ&#13
+3;
$VAR1 = {
          'p' => [
                   'foo',
                   "foo with an \x{2013}",
                   'some latin1 encoded chars: æøå ÆØÃ&
+#133;',
                   "same, but this time whith an \x{2013} .. \x{c3}\x{
+a6}\x{c3}\x{b8}\x{c3}\x{a5} \x{c3}\x{86}\x{c3}\x{98}\x{c3}\x{85}",
                   "same, but this thime with an \x{201d} instead .. :
+ \x{c3}\x{a6}\x{c3}\x{b8}\x{c3}\x{a5} \x{c3}\x{86}\x{c3}\x{98}\x{c3}\
+x{85}"
                 ]
        };
